Giant inflatable Elon Musk appears in Times Square one day before SpaceX IPO, with a scathing message for its CEO

New Yorkers woke up Thursday morning to a giant blow-up figure of the world's richest person, one day before his already immense fortune is set to inflate thanks to the biggest IPO in history.

The big bust of a shirtless and smiling Elon Musk appeared in Times Square overnight, adorned with harsh accusations about the SpaceX founder.

"SpaceX's Grok makes AI child porn," reads a giant tattoo plastered across the bust's upper abs and back.

The message appeared to be a reference to accusations that Grok, Musk's xAI chatbot that was acquired by SpaceX earlier this year, produced sexual images of children.

SpaceX is an over-inflated mess with the money pit xAI at it's center. If it makes it's target, it inflates the AI bubble (because this isn't about Starlink or Rockets, it is about paying off xAI investors and creditors).

I fully expect market hype to prevail over reality, as it seems to over and over and over. But I hope like hell it is a bust, with the price rapidly plummeting.

He's trying to raise capital, not to grow the business, but to pay off creditors and investors. In other words, this IPO is a raising money to pay off money already spent to get the to losing place that company is at right now.
